About Brian

I have been a classroom teacher for 17 years including 6 years of virtual education. I have taught Spanish, French, ESL/ESOL, Technology, Business, and CTE courses. I have taught grades K-12, university, and adults. I lived one year in Spain where I studied Spanish and lived three years in France where I studied French and taught English.

I have taught classes for 6 years teaching Microsoft Office programs. I have used the Office Suites and all the versions - 1997, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010, and 365. I have seen and adapted to the changes for each version as they have been introduced. Prior to this, I also have been trained in other similar programs.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish, French, and Business. I have a Master's Degree in Education. I have another Master's Degree in Curriculum and Educational Technology.

I have tutored students and adults for 12 years in Spanish, French, and English. I enjoy tutoring because it allows for 1-on-1 communication that does not truly occur in a classroom setting. I enjoy working with others to help clarify any issues that they are having.

I taught English in France for 3 years - 1 year was grades 5-9 and 2 years were university level students (conversation, business, environmental studies). In addition to teaching English at these levels, I also taught adult education and tutored individuals in English while there.

I have studied Spanish and French in great detail and have also had some basic classes in German, Italian, and Portuguese. In addition, I have taught Spanish and French for 12 years. I know the difficulties and challenges that one faces when learning another language. This better enables me to be able to assist others in their own learning.

I have had countless hours tutoring students after school in the buildings as well as online.

Brian has been very helpful with excel. I was unsure of online training but with the screen share and great amount of patience I feel I have learned a lot. My ratings for Brian would be 5 stars

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
